Hi!!, if there are more than one block device, you have to pause to get them all at the same ‘instant’??

Sorry, I thought it wasn’t very sensible, but it works fine…

lvcreate -L20G -s -n storageLV_s /dev/vGroup/storageLV?
Do you really mean to create a logical volume inside another logical volume of the same size?

I guess this could work just as well

dd if=/dev/vGroup/storageLV_s | ssh root@sys_IP ‘dd of=/dev/vGroup/storageLV’

Thanks a lot, just what I was looking for.

It might be usefull tu use nc with dd to migrate the lvm over the network in one step.

Regards,
